sun £15 holidays?

Hi Guys I was wondering if anyone knew when the sun £15 holidays would be starting? My mum used to get the sun everyday so would be able to let me know but she doesn't buy often now. Looked on the site in the archives it looks as if they should be starting soon but wondred if the sun readers among you had seen anything. Thanks kal25.

    yes things like entertainments passes,linen hire etc are added

    IF you want them that is ! ,if you just want the accom and wont use the facilites, then you wont need to pay for the passes,and bring your own bed linen instead of paying to use theirs !

    Also with our sun holidays to France, we pay a £15 damage insurance waiver ,so we dont have to leave a 100E deposit upon arrival

    You only send £9.50 per person when you book then any extras are added and payable later,when you receive confirmation

    all info can be found here : http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2006410005-2006580727,00.html

    They are worth it IMO,when we go to France in early July we will have paid £89.85 for a 3 night break for 4 people

    the same holiday booking directly with Eurocamp would be £467 !

    That is where we go :)

    We stay @ La Croix Du Vieux Pont in Berney Riviere which is an hours drive from Disney :)http://www.keycamp.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=campsites.resortoverview&mastercode=124&ver=2

    the £89 i quoted is for 3 nights accom for 4 people ,inc insurance waiver ,service charge and use of facilites on site etc

    we have booked a cheap ferry, £43 return with speedferries ,Dover - Boulogne http://www.speedferries.com/

    There is a site only 20 mins away from Disney http://www.siblu.ie/france/paris/les_etangs_fleuris.php but unfortunately we didnt get our first park choice

    but La Croix is fab so we dont mind :D and to be honest the drive is fine and doesnt feel like an hour ! :)

    you wont get to go in May with the sun though ! they arent starting the tokens til this month !

    Thanks for that, so it does not include return? Are sun holidays by plane or ferry? And will be able to take the car at no extra cost then? With speedferries return is it 43 pounds for 4 people? Dont mind going in june or july either, have never been!

    I am on the speedferries site right now, I thought I would see how much it costs for the whole family to go, there are 6 kids and 2 adults, says 'standard veichle with up to 9 passengers', and total is £ 157.00 which seems very cheap to me if the cars going too! im confused, I have never been so I dont know the rules or anything..

    lol i dont know about any rules

    no, the sun holidays dont include any travel ,just the accomodation :)

    we go by ferry but you could fly or go by Eurotunnel,Eurostar.....

    speedferries are generally cheaper than other ferry companies :)
